Wow.

There is a time in my life where for once I can wake up in the morning and feel like I have no doubts about the decisions I am making and no regrets about how I got where I am.

We spend so much time in our lives overanalyzing, overthinking... We open ourselves up so much that we get hurt, then we keep our hearts so guarded that we block out what could be good for us.  We constantly condemn ourselves for wrong, or go the opposite way and feel apathetic. Once we let that all go, and just leave it to God...everything changes.

I've always known I'll never be perfect. I've always known I cannot live up to the glory of God.  I've always known that what didn't kill me gave me strength in God.  But I never let myself believe it and truly realize the PEACE that God offers.  If we never let His peace in, we cannot live for Him.  Even when we fall, even when we aren't perfect, He still is our peace. He still gives us that UNMERITED favor, that is grace.

After I stopped agonizing over every little detail that I can't get perfect, and started just living and breathing faith and love, everything fell into place.  I wake up every day and have no doubt that God loves me, and that He has blessed me abundantly!  I have a family that loves me unconditionally, I have friends that are my brothers and sisters in Christ, I have learned to let go of past things/people, and I have a fiance who I have grown to love more and more each day that God has given us.  If we focus on the good, and the love, and the peace in all the blessings of life, the bad can be brought to His feet and not seem all that bad.
